    More than likely its your CPU overheating, when upgrading a new GPU nowadays more than likely since modern GPU create so much heat you need liquid cooling over your CPU.
    You must worry about CPU's temp and GPU temp in modern day PC gaming. CPU overheating sounds like your issue. other issue might be new tech not compatible with motherboard ( if it's and older model) or not compatible with your power supply. GPU are touchy their requirements for power and the right environments are high.

    the reason why you are shutting off while playing is because that is when your GPU really turns on. Nvidia knows when and how to use the GPU's resources and when not too. The power it uses to run normal OS and software is much smaller than when running a graphically complicated game. It's turning your PC tower into an oven.
